About the role

We are seeking a highly motivated and driven individual who can help own and manage SSAFA’s Dynamics 365 cloud instances used by our social work, safeguarding and mentoring areas of the business to manage their data workflows. This will involve the full end-to-end cycle including the understanding of development briefs, translating briefs into functional requirements, turning functional requirements into Dynamics 365 customisations, assisting with and monitoring of user testing, documentation, rollout and day-to-day support/administration. 

About you

To carry out this role successfully you will have extensive, multi-year experience with Dynamics 365 and relevant third-party integrations. You will most likely have recommended and implemented tools from PowerObjects, North52, DocuSign and MSCRM-ADDONS in order to create incredibly automated solutions for use in a business system.

The ability to analyse business processes and understand them aligned to the legislation surrounding social work will be key to the role. You will need to champion and promote positive change through the evolution of Dynamics 365 – speaking the language of the business rather than the language of Dynamics. You’ll also be fully versed in Power Automate so that existing workflows, actions and logic can be migrated seamlessly.

SSAFA is an employer that values the diversity of its workforce and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
